Allegedly open to backing. Not committing to it though.

Sounds like more BS spin to prop up LNP coal and gas donors.

Time to look after Barrier Reef. 👍

On Monday, we'll get a glimpse of Australia in 2061, as politicians still argue about 2050Barnaby Joyce reckons 2050 is too far away for Australia to commit to net zero carbon emissions. But as previous government forecasts remind us, the future arrives more quickly than we think, writes Peter Martin. No doubt Barnaby will give us a glimpse of the 1930’s. ABC obsession with their group think 2050 fantasy, is just as pathetic as theirabc failed attempts to white wash Aboriginal history, using an angry ild white man's fairytale Only difference is their 2050 fairytale aint racist, white washing Aboriginal history via a fairytale is the Nats pushed for gov flood reinsurance due to climate They bloody well know about climate change but they turn a blind eye on climate Flood insurance in Townsville went up 300%

Question remains whether Barnaby Joyce will 'push back' on Morrison's net-zero emissions plan | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says it remains to be seen whether incoming Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce will 'push back' against PM Scott Morrison's 'tacit acceptance' of net zero emissions by 2050.\n\n'As it has been for decades, a key policy schism in the coalition is climate change and the question is whether the Nationals now, under Joyce, will push back against Scott Morrison's tacit acceptance of net zero emissions by 2050,' Mr Kenny said.\n\n'Never forget, despite all the climate activism from politicians and especially from the media, after 2007 every federal election has been won by a party promising caution on climate action, promising not to sacrifice jobs ... sacrifice the economy and our standard of living for climate action.\n\n'History tells us that a more robust Nationals partner is more likely to strengthen the Coalition and help its electoral chances, rather than see it lose support.' Looking forward to the opposition benches.. McCormack was hardly a star performer, but compared to Barnaby he is an Einstein. Albo must be rubbing his hands together. Even a drovers dog could beat LNP right now. Only thing that could stop Labor winning would be if Shorten were to challenge Albo. Very sad on many fronts. Another slap in the face for all the Women in Australia.

There is ‘a lot of money’ to be made in renewables | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator Alex Antic says there is “a lot of money” to be made in renewables at the moment.\n\nMr Antic discussed the issue with Sky News host Peta Credlin, who noted there are a lot of people who are “quite literally banking” on a net-zero by 2050 target from the federal government.\n\n“Those windfarms and solar farms, they do not build themselves,” Mr Antic said.\n\n“And they do not build themselves without subsidy sadly as well.”\n What's fuc$d is all people act for and care for is money not living things. Just over a century ago they said planes & cars were just a fad. Fourty years ago it was the computer. Thirty, mobile phones. Renewables are the next tech. It's the horse & carriage idiots that have a problem with it. That's because it's A LOT CHEAPER THAN COAL ? 👇 Therefore it can generate Electricity far cheaper and that means higher profits. In facts Coal is now so expensive nobody would ever build a new coal power station because they would loose money from day 1 to closing.
